Description

Cape Blanco is an attractive, compact, easy-to-grow sedum plant. The leaves are glaucous blue-green with a flush of purple at the tips. The silver leaves stand out brilliantly. Cape Blanco is native to Oregon and it makes a beautiful ground cover. This sedum needs watering regularly, weekly or more in extreme heat. Yellow flowers bloom in early summer. This sedum species is an herbaceous plant. This means that it dies down in the winter. New growth comes back the next season.
